RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN STYLE WITH SALUTE TO VIENNA !

Salute to Vienna has been billed as the world’s greatest New Year’s concert. For over 60 years, the Vienna Philharmonic's “Neujahrskonzert” broadcast has thrilled 1.2 billion people annually around the globe – a joyous celebration of the musical legacy of Johann Strauss Jr. In 1995, concert producers, Attila and Marion Glatz, presented their first Salute to Vienna in Toronto and it was modelled carefully after the original. Now, 26 years later, the show has become a New Year's tradition, featuring glorious music and dancing, staged almost simultaneously in 21 cities throughout and the United States. The Vancouver show is performed by the Vancouver Symphony with an outstanding cast of 75 musicians, singers and dancers. Here is a welcome message from Attila and Marion Glatz: The tradition of ringing in the New Year with the waltzes, marches and operetta arias of the beloved Viennese Strauss family, Lehár, Stolz and others surely sets the tone for an exceptional year to come. In fact, since 1995, when we first transposed this tradition to North America, audiences have delighted in the performances. The new tradition has quickly spread across the continent, featuring leading orchestras, internationally renowned conductors, and soloists trained in this unique repertoire. We look forward to celebrating the musical magic of the Viennese masters with you for many years to come.
